Man arrested after appeal to find Lancashire toddler
Two-year-old Gracie-May was picked up at Manchester Airport last week
A man, wanted by Lancashire police after flying to Spain with a woman and toddler, has been arrested.
Last week, Lancashire Police launched an urgent appeal to find two-year-old Gracie-May who was abducted from Lancaster.
She was found safe and well and officers picked her up from Manchester Airport.
In a statement today (1st September) Lancashire Police said:
"Further to our earlier appeal we can confirm a man wanted by police after flying with a woman and child to Spain has been arrested.
Lee Rogers, 39, was wanted by officers after boarding a flight with a woman and Gracie-May Rogers on August 25.
Gracie-May, two, from Lancaster, returned to Manchester Airport in the company of a woman on Sunday (August 29) and was taken to a place of safety.
A 35-year-old woman who we wanted to speak to in connection with Gracie-May’s disappearance was detained by officers without incident. She is not under arrest and will be voluntarily interviewed in due course.
Rogers was arrested at Glasgow Airport yesterday (Tuesday, August 31) on suspicion of abduction and is in custody.
We would like to again thank everybody who shared our appeal and played a key role in helping with our investigation to find Gracie-May."
